Kimbop

06/15/24 - Today we went back to take advantage of our Groupon purchase. We bought $30 worth of food for $15. This time we both ordered poke bowls. I ordered the salmon poke bowl & my wife ordered the tuna poke bowls. They were both deliciousBoth were served over a bed of rice w/masago (fish roe), shredded crab meat, lettuce, roasted garlic, diced cucumbers, diced green peppers & cilantro. Of course my wife's had tuna & mine had salmon. We mixed it up so all the ingredients could be blended & eaten (like halo halo). I added hot sauce to mine. Awesome meal very filling and nutritious. I love this place they have a huge variety of Korean food options & is absolutely worth checking out. I just wish I lived closer to Arlington Heights, but I will definitely be back again

For me, this restaurant is a mixed bag with some elements to like and some not to like as much.Outside of the food, the restaurant is somewhat small but just large enough to accommodate some tables for dine in. Given the size of the restaurant, the menu variety is actually pretty good with lots of options ranging from fried chicken to poke bowls to bibimbap to kimbop and other Korean favorites. Service is friendly and the decor is appropriate for the restaurant.For me, the food is not the best and not the worst. Portion sizes skew a little on the smaller side, though prices are not much different from competitors nearby. This also doesn't come with ban-chan that you'd get from many other Korean restaurants nearby with your meal. The ingredients do seem to be pretty good, but not really any different from the large number of competitors nearby on Milwaukee Ave. With that said, the flavor of the food was fine -- like the salmon poke bowl was done fairly good, though fish pieces could've been a bit bigger. The bulgogi was tender and lightly sweet, but not the best version of this that I've had. Presentation overall was pretty good.Overall, a solid performer in the category. Good for a reasonably priced hot meal if you'd doing something nearby in the area like visiting the Wheeling Town Center.

i've been here a handful of times now and always have such a pleasant experience. service: friendly and prompt. they are quick to greet you at the door and offer help with any questions. there is a self serve water station towards the middle of the restaurant restaurant is small and not too many tables but each time i've gone there wasn't many people. food: everything i order here is so good. they have a very extensive meal and also have added more it seems -bulgogi fries: must add the kimchi. it's so good! ask for no ketchup though.. felt like it would have been better without it -assortment of makis and kimbops: i can't choose, whichever one ive gotten has been so good-fried chicken: super crunchy! everything about my meals have been so good! highly recommend!

Kimbop recently opened, and I wanted to try it out. You order at the counter, and the food is brought out to your table. I ordered the beef bulgogi bowl, and my husband ordered the salmon poke bowl. The portion size was smaller than I was expecting for the price. The food was good but was fairly average in taste. In an area that has many above average Asian restaurants to choose from, Kimbop doesn't stand out.

I can't believe I haven't tried this hidden gem until now! Kimbop is located right off Elmhurst Rd (83) and McHenry Rd. If you see La Michoacána then you are right there - KIMBOP is located just a couple steps from there. Kimbop is a small, warm, and inviting restaurant with delicious food! I have been craving kimbop rolls (Korean rolls) with beef bulgogi and this place hits the spot! My roll was packed with fresh ingredients, juicy and plentiful beef bulgogi, and rolled tightly together. I can make a meal just out of this alone. I also ordered the bibimbop bowl with bulgogi and it's another winner! Just the right amount of rice, fresh vegetables, plenty of meat, and topped with a sunny side egg (they ask how you want your egg prepared)! It was one delectable bite after another! Now... as I'm craving Korean food, specifically kimbop rolls and bibimbop, I couldn't resist ordering their wings! Korean style wings are a food group on its own! Don't ever compare it to BWW or any of those wing places. Korean wings are crispy, juicy, tender, crispy, covered in sauce and yet still sooooooo crispy crunchy! I haven't found a place that makes crispy, crunchy AND juicy wings covered in the sweet and spicy sauce until NOW! I'm super happy I ordered 12 wings because hubs and I devoured them! Donald really steered me good with his recommendation of the sauce. He was friendly and welcoming. He's really proud of the restaurant and the food, and rightly so! Craving Korean? Kimbop is the place to go and you won't regret it!

I had really great foods and services I got a lot of foods, multiple times from here and they never disappoint me! I'm so glad that I found this place

The best place in wheeling to get Korean food can't recommend enough. I absolutely love the chicken katsu

Amazing! I've been going to the family owned restaurant for while now, and each time the food does not disappoint. Their fusion fries are a must try! The workers there are extremely sociable and inviting, I have nothing but the best to say about this place.

Very good quality. Quick service and nice attitude. Comfortable to sit and relax. Definitely kids friendly. Good environment. Lots of options. Definitely recommended

This place is amazing! I love the food and I love everyone that works there too. They have a great variety and everything is so fresh. 100 out of 10 recommend!
